I think this is worth thinking about...I'm actually writing my fall paper on the fact that even in the most feminist, pro-independent woman eras, women still seemed to need to end up married, either to fit in with society, or for stability.
There's still obviously a tremedous emphasis on romantic relationships. Teens are starting to date form a younger and younger age. I just think sometimes it's important at some point to examine why we feel compelled to find that perfect Mr or Mrs. Right any thoughts? I'm just presenting the question: NOT bashing relationships Can you be single and perfectly happy in the long run? |

I don't think that you have to be in a relationship to be happy...I think it's more of an added bonus...I, myself, didn't even start seriously dating til I was Junior in high school. HE was a great guy and we dated for 8 months then we just kind of decided mutually to end our relationship and be friends(which can really happen b/c we still talk to each other ALL the time) anyways then I played it by ear for like two years being completely happy with my singleness then I just got kind of bored with my swinging bachelorettedness....SO in the long run...I think that in being single a girl can find happiness but sometime down the road she is gonna get lonely and want that one person to be with and be comfortable with and settle down with....so inevitably most people come to the conclusion that being in a relationship is better b/c most poeple seem to settle down and well if the mass majority of people are doing it then it must be the thing to do..which makes it great...
I guess I'm kind of rambling but If you can pick out the good parts in there then I hope it has helped you...basicly being single is fun but most people get bored with it after a while and just want someone to rely on! |
